amex cli question....

[odd_dog]

OK read the posts but am still confused....I am eligible for a CLI on my BCE card but 2 weeks ago I applied and was approved for a BSP, so question can I try the CLI on BCE, or because I just got the BSP do I have to wait, and if so how long? Thanks!

I believe 61 days after your new approval or 6 months since last request.

Sorry for jacking the thread but, quick question, OP why would someone app for the BCE and then 3 months later apply for basically the same type reward structure. Is there some sort of combo with rewards? I understand the freedom/CSP combo for UR points.. Just curious?..

Also congrats on both your BCE & BCP

OK, jboy 1972 here it goes, remember YOU asked!! LOL I got a SPG from AMEX thinking I could move points over to JetBlue, my fault did not think to look at the fine print before I apped they dont transfer to JetBlue so I PC to BCE, figured why not, great gas card and shopping.....Then was looking for a travel card that was not affiliated with any airline, hotel etc, apped for Cap 1 ventureone and was denied, then apped for Barclay arrival....denied, I do like AMEX and figured it IS a generic travel card and with a pretty good redemption ratio, and a nice sign up bonus I tried it and got it....I guess to your question, the BSP is strickly for travel and I can't use the "cash" for anything else, also blu cash gives extra points on gas and groceries, while BSP gives extra on restaurants and hotels....I like alot of cards to spread out my payments as I always pay in  full every month...just a nut I guess!!!
